I've Lost You Only To Discover That I Have Gone Missing

I’ve Lost You Only To Discover That I Have Gone Missing is a dance theatre production grounded in the autobiographical experiences of people’s diverse relationships. The work emerges directly from the Moving Kinship hubs with families affected by young onset dementia. In probing the complexities of dementia, the work tackles social and medical taboos about loss, intimacy, vulnerability, consent and othering – inviting audiences to re-imagine everyday relating as small acts of embodied resistance. The work considers that dementia-friendly values are ubiquitous and can enrich our perceptions and relating in more-than-human ways.
